"Saint Veronica" is a painting attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Robert Campin, also known as the Master of Flémalle, who was active during the first half of the 15th century. The artwork is believed to depict Saint Veronica, a woman celebrated in Christian tradition for offering Jesus a cloth to wipe his face as he carried the cross to his crucifixion, with his image miraculously imprinted on the cloth. This event is not recorded in the canonical Gospels but is a subject of Christian lore and has been a popular theme in Christian art.

The painting is executed in oil on an oak panel, a medium that Campin and his contemporaries, such as Jan van Eyck, were among the first to exploit, leading to a revolution in the appearance and coloristic quality of European painting. Campin's work is characterized by a heightened attention to detail, a keen observation of the natural world, and a nuanced approach to depicting light and texture, which can be seen in the rendering of Saint Veronica's features and attire.

While the exact date of the painting is uncertain, it is generally placed within the early 15th century, a time when Campin was active and when the cult of Saint Veronica and the veneration of relics associated with the Passion of Christ were particularly intense. The painting's provenance and the history of its attribution to Campin have been subjects of scholarly research, contributing to the broader understanding of the artist's oeuvre and the development of Early Netherlandish painting.

"Saint Veronica" by Robert Campin is considered an important work within the context of Northern Renaissance art, reflecting the devotional practices of the period, the emerging capabilities of oil painting, and the distinctive style that has been attributed to Campin and his workshop. The painting is often analyzed in conjunction with other works by Campin, such as the Mérode Altarpiece, to provide insights into the thematic and stylistic consistencies across his body of work.

As with many works of this era, the attribution to Campin may be a matter of scholarly debate, and the painting's condition, ownership history, and any restoration efforts it may have undergone can also contribute to the understanding and appreciation of this piece within Campin's artistic legacy.
